Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.1K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

  • Examined gender and temporal effects on gambling initiation.

Main Results:

  • Observed significant gender differences: men's non-gambling episodes were shorter than women's.
  • Increased gambling opportunities correlated with a higher propensity to start gambling.
  • Both men and women are initiating gambling at earlier ages than previously observed.

Conclusions:

  • Gender significantly influences the decision to start gambling.
